I am a first year beekeeper from Georgia, the southern end of the state. I have been studying beekeeping for over a year and purchased five packages this past spring. I have learned a lot from them this year. I am looking to expand in the coming years and see where this hobby will take me. I am always looking for sources of information such as this site.

Welcome to the forum, Michael. Starting with five hives you probably have picked up on a lot. I started beek late last fall, strange time, I got three established hives from an estate. This spring I caught six swarms, most from those three hives. Good luck to you and your bees.
Joe
